A Celebration On The Way

A Celebration On The Way

By Dick Evans

A wasteland without waste. Infernal and sparse, the dry, hot earth forbids. Everything here ends. Or continues in stillness. Immutable, but changing, anyway, and only of its own volition. The sublime largeness of the desert reminds you of your insignificance. And after the rains the fragrant creosote consoles. ~ Brian Alessandro, Editor-in-Chief

The Collection

"I seldom begin a painting with any particular image in mind. I often start by simply loading a brush with a color of paint that appeals to me at that time and making a stroke on the canvas or panel surface. As I react to the form of that stroke, the way it divides the canvas, the weight of the stroke, the emotional impact, I lay down the next stroke, either in the same color or in a different color. The entire painting evolves in that manner, in a series of reactions to the previous collection of actions. Throughout that process the visual and emotional elements that I have collected during my lifetime of observation, as well as, I suspect, elements that are in the genetic evolution of the human species, all play a part in determining each new step. Ultimately my paintings are simply explorations, interpretations and expressions of the world around me and within me." ~ Dick Evans

"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive."~ James Baldwin
